Can't listen to music with iPhone speaker.

[msgeorgiarose]

Hi! I am using an iPhone 4 running ios 7.1.1. Recently, I've had a very frustrating problem, and it is not being able to listen to music with speaker. I'm pretty sure the speaker isn't broken because I can use it for alarms. Also, in my voice memos, the sound works although I have to click that speaker button on the top right corner so that the sound would come out of the speaker instead of the earpiece (top speaker).

When listening to music, there is completely no sound, and I can't adjust the volumes. Here's a screenshot of my music.

I think the problem first occurred after recording with my voice memos and syncing my phone to iTunes to transfer my recording from my phone to PC. After that, there's just no sound coming out of my phone speaker. The music works when i'm using earphones. It's still frustrating though. Any suggestions?

Got a Fix

I was just about to come here and post a message almost identical to yours. IPhone 5s with no speaker function on music or videos; yet, speaker with the phone and ringtones, etc. I thought I would try one thing first - I rebooted the phone. Voila, it now works. Where before there was no sliding volume knob in Music, there is one now.

Hope this works for you.
